Curried Butternut Flavours
Butternut is a deliciously sweet winter squash. It cooks into a soft fibrous mash, easy to blend into a smooth paste. Its gentle candy flavours create a versatile food base that is easily enhanced with any seasoning. Something a little lively, like the curry spice used in this butternut soup recipe, creates a particularly amazing sensation when combined with the sweet nuances of creamed butternut.
Butternut also brings a wide variety of health benefits to the table. It is high in fibre and rich in anti-inflammatory properties. As well as being an abundant source of antioxidants and vitamins. The most notable being beta-carotene which, converted to Vitamin A in our bodies, promotes good skin health and eye care.
